We gave up on the dining room/office concept. It wasn't working. I'm not 100% happy with the arrangement because it means when Nana is downstairs we don't have access to the TV. Unless we get it first. ;-)

Then it comes down to who gets to decide what we're going to watch...

What, you don't have a "he who pays the cable bill, calls the tune" rule? Nana won't cooperate?

I think it might work for us, except on evenings when, say, Rosie wants to watch a movie and I have homework; but then I can always just take my laptop and go elsewhere. It's really more a matter of how the furniture will fit than anything else.

I've got a friend coming in half an hour or so to help with all these books and the small furniture. Hopefully we can get a lot done by lunchtime.
